How to Estimate Overtime Pay

Basic formula

Overtime pay = hourly rate × overtime multiplier × overtime hours.

Example

If hourly rate is 15, overtime multiplier is 1.5, and overtime time is 6 hours, overtime pay is 135.

Important note

Actual overtime rules depend on your contract, employer policy and local labor law.

Practical use

Use this as a simple estimate before checking official payroll rules.
